Lucius Papirius Cursor

Lucius Papirius Cursor (314 BC-? BC) was a Roman legate who was a member of the House of Papirii. Cursor was different from the other Roman generals in that he was not part of the "big three" patrician families: Julia, Cornelia, and Junia. He was an influential politician, but his legion, the Legio III Apollinaris, did not fight often.
